North America's Best Luxury Hotels, Inns and Resorts
"The great advantage of a hotel is that it's a great refuge from home life" - George Bernard Shaw.
A BOUTIQUE HOTEL is a small hotel which typically has between 10 and 100 rooms in unique settings with upscale accommodations.
A GRAND HOTEL is a large and luxurious hotel, especially one built in a traditional architectural style.
A HOTEL is an establishment that provides paid lodging on a short-term basis. The provision of basic accommodation, in times past, consisting only of a room with a bed, a cupboard, a small table and a washstand has largely been replaced by rooms with modern facilities, including en-suite bathrooms and air conditioning or climate control. Additional common features found in hotel rooms are a telephone, an alarm clock, a television, a safe, a mini-bar with snack foods and drinks, and facilities for making tea and coffee. Luxury features include bathrobes and slippers, a pillow menu, twin-sink vanities, and jacuzzi bathtubs. Larger hotels may provide additional guest facilities such as a restaurant, swimming pool, fitness center, business center, childcare, conference facilities and social function services.
Hotel operations vary in size, function, and cost. Most hotels and major hospitality companies that operate hotels have set widely accepted industry standards to classify hotel types. General categories include the following:
THE HOTEL STAR CLASSIFICATION & RATING SYSTEM EXPLAINED:
******* Seven Star (Burj Al Arab, Dubai. The world's most luxurious and only 7-star hotel).
***** Five Star - (Deluxe)
These are hotels that offer only the highest level of accommodations and services. The properties offer a high degree of personal service. Although most five star hotels are large properties, sometimes the small independent (non-chain) property offers an elegant intimacy that can not be achieved in the larger setting. The hotel locations can vary from the very exclusive locations of a suburban area, to the heart of downtown. The hotel lobbies are sumptuous, the rooms complete with stylish furnishing and quality linens. The amenities often include: VCR's, CD stereos, garden tubs or Jacuzzis, in-room video library, heated pools and more. The hotels feature up to three restaurants all with exquisite menus. Room service is usually available 24 hours a day. Fitness Centers and valet and/or garage parking are typically available. A concierge is also available to assist you.
**** Four Star - (Superior)
Mostly large, formal hotels with smart reception areas, front desk service and bellhop service. The hotels are most often located near other hotels of the same caliber and are usually found near shopping, dining and other major attractions. The level of service is well above average and the rooms are well lit and well furnished. Restaurant dining is usually available and may include more than one choice. Some properties will offer continental breakfast and/or happy hour delicacies. Room service is usually available during most hours. Valet parking and/or garage service is also usually available. Concierge services, fitness centers and one or more pools are often provided.
*** Three Star - (First Class)
Typically these hotels offer more spacious accommodations that include well appointed rooms and decorated lobbies. Bellhop service is usually not available. They are often located near major expressways or business areas, convenient to shopping and moderate to high priced attractions. The hotels usually feature medium-sized restaurants that typically offer service breakfast through dinner. Room service availability may vary. Valet parking, fitness centers and pools are often provided.
** Two Star - (Moderate)
Typically smaller hotels managed by the proprietor. The hotel is often 2 - 4 stories high and usually has a more personal atmosphere. It's usually located near affordable attractions, major intersections and convenient to public transportation. Furnishings and facilities are clean but basic. Most will not have a restaurant on site but are usually within walking distance to some good low-priced dining. Public access, past certain hours, may be restricted.
* One Star - (Moderate)
Usually denotes independent and name brand hotel chains with a reputation for offering consistent quality amenities. The hotel is usually small to medium-sized and conveniently located to moderately priced attractions. The facilities typically include telephones and TV's in the bedroom. Some hotels offer limited restaurant service; however, room service and bellhop service is usually not provided.

Palace Distinction – since 2009. One step higher than five stars - by the French Agency for Tourism Development. Marked with P.
What hotel star ratings actually mean today - "There isn't a single answer to the question of what star ratings actually mean, since there are so many systems shaped by so many factors. Some tourism marketers now even give exceptional luxury properties an unofficial six-star designation. (Think stunning over-water villas in the Maldives with private butlers). And bear in mind not all of a brand's properties are created equal when making assumptions about a chain's star category - newer hotels are usually more modern and deserving of a higher rating."
HOTELS, RESORTS & SPAS BY REGION:
Canada
- CANADA
Banff (Alberta)
 - THE FAIRMONT BANFF SPRINGS HOTEL CNT. Modelled on a baronial Scottish castle, this huge resort on the outskirts of Banff opened in 1888.Sam the Bellman and Fiery Bride: This Canadian landmark boasts more than one spooky resident. Anyone who loses their keys should be on the lookout for Sam the Bellman, a former employee who retired in 1967. After passing away a few years later, he supposedly "returned" to the hotel. Dressed in 1960s-style uniform, Sam appears to assist those who have trouble with their locked hotel rooms, and when spoken to, vanishes into thin air. Best not lose your keys during your stay. And that's not the only ghostly guest on-site.
In the 1920s a young bride's wedding dress caught on fire on a long spiral staircase in the hotel by the candles that lined the staircase. Panicking, she slipped and fell down the stairs and broke her neck. Employees have since reported strange noises in the bridal suite, and an apparition wearing a long flowing wedding gown is seen on the stairs from time to time, vanishing after catching on fire.
Jasper (Alberta)
 - FAIRMONT JASPER PARK LODGE - opened in 1922. Year-round full-service resort, it has onsite and offsite activities including hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, and canoeing.

La Huerta (Jalisco)
 - Casa La Loma - Cuixmala, Carretera Melaque-Puerto Vallarta Km 46.2, 48983 La Huerta, Jalisco, Mexico. "Once the private home of Franco-British billionaire Sir James Goldsmith. Goldsmith conceived the 25,000-acre property as a home for his family and friends. The centerpiece is Casa La Loma, a sprawling villa modeled on the Hagia Sophia, with a blue-and-yellow dome crowning its adobe walls. Inside, the four bedrooms and ample living areas of the main house are outfitted with Oriental rugs, mother-of-pearl chairs, ornately carved window shutters and room dividers, and sumptuous silks on the big sleeping beds and smaller daybeds. Fountain courtyards carry on the Middle Eastern theme, but the views from the three palapa-covered terraces and the saltwater pool are pure Pacific. Six separate bungalows bring the bedroom total to ten. A full staff, of course, is included. (The chefs are especially talented, and the food - much of it grown on Cuixmala’s sister hotel, Hacienda de San Antonio - is outstanding.)."
Manzanillo

Punta de Mita (Nayarit)
 - The St. Regis Punta Mita Resort - "Give in to the seduction of pampering treatments in the luxe Remède Spa, play on two Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Courses or a tennis center nestled in a palm grove. Nearby, the Marietas Islands beckon with natural beauty and outdoor adventures."

- Historic Anchorage Hotel - "Where Ghosts Are More than Just Stories: Curtains rumbling, shower curtains swaying, pictures flying—it's all par for the course at the Historic Anchorage Hotel. Stories of ghostly happenings have been circulating at the hotel for many years and are considered to be related to the death of the first Chief of Police, Jack Sturgus. On February 20, 1921 at 9:15 p.m., Anchorage's first Police Chief John J. "Black Jack" Sturgus was found shot in the back with a bullet from his own gun, steps away from the Historic Anchorage Hotel. It is rumored that his ghost returns to the scene of the crime each year, haunting the location of his untimely death, seeking justice for a crime still unsolved to this day."

Due to its elegant design and the fact that its public rooms sat disused for decades, it has been the site of countless film shoots, and its iconic PALM COURT ballroom is a protected Los Angeles landmark. In its heyday from 1911 to 1922, it was the scene of speeches by U.S. Presidents William Howard Taft and Woodrow Wilson and Gen. John J. Pershing.

Denver
 - THE BROWN PALACE HOTEL & Spa - since 1892. Past guests include the "Unsinkable" Molly Brown (she stayed at the hotel only a week after the Titanic disaster), infamous Denver crime boss Jefferson "Soapy" Smith, Dr. Sun Yat Sen (just before becoming the president of the new Republic of China), Queen Marie of Romania, the Duke of San Macario, and The Beatles. Presidential guests include Theodore Roosevelt, William Taft, Warren Harding, Harry S Truman, Dwight D. Eisenhower and Bill Clinton. The hotel was the site of the high profile 1911 murders in which Frank Henwood shot and killed Sylvester Louis "Tony" von Phul and accidentally killed an innocent bystander, George Copeland, in the hotel's "Marble Bar." Henwood and von Phul were rivals for (or shared) the affections of Denver socialite Isabel Springer, the wife of wealthy Denver businessman and political candidate John W. Springer. The murders culminated in a series of very public trials.
People who are into the paranormal will get more than their share of ghost stories in the hotel. One which stands out from the rest is that of Mrs. Louise Crawford Hill. She ruled Denver society from her room in the hotel, room 904, which was her home for fifteen years (1940-1955). Later, when the hotel began to offer tours, the story of her life and heartbreak over a lost love were told to the visitors. Strangely, the switchboard suddenly began to receive calls from room 904. But this was impossible, as at the time, the room was undergoing renovation and had no furnishings, lights, carpet, or telephone lines. Before long, the story was eliminated from the tour and the telephone calls from room 904 stopped coming.
